How the Women’s Draw Stands

The semi-finals are set: Andreeva v Kostyuk (a rematch of this year’s Madrid final) and Diana Shnaider v qualifier Maja Chwalinska. The casualties tell the story — defending champion Gauff (R3), four-time champion Swiatek (R16, to Kostyuk), world No.1 Sabalenka (QF, to Shnaider), plus Svitolina, Rybakina and Osaka all out. Whoever lifts the Coupe Suzanne Lenglen on Saturday will be a first-time Grand Slam champion.

Mirra Andreeva — the favourite

Mirra Andreeva (8) is the highest-ranked player left and hasn’t dropped a set all fortnight. The 19-year-old reached the Roland-Garros semis back in 2024 and is the most complete player in the last four — the soundest outright pick.

Marta Kostyuk — the in-form challenger

Marta Kostyuk has beaten Swiatek and Svitolina back-to-back and is full of confidence. She meets Andreeva in a Madrid-final rematch — the value alternative at the top of the market.

Diana Shnaider — the giant-killer

The big-hitting lefty stunned Sabalenka 3-6, 7-5, 6-0 and faces a qualifier for a place in the final. One of the form players left, and live at a fair price.

Maja Chwalinska — the fairytale

World No.114 Maja Chwalinska is the first qualifier in the Roland-Garros women’s semis since Nadia Podoroska in 2020. A long shot, but one win from the most improbable final of all.

Tip: Mirra Andreeva outright (around 6/4).

Our French Open 2026 Women’s Tips: Summary

  • Outright: Mirra Andreeva — the favourite (around 6/4) and the most complete player left.
  • Value: Kostyuk (around 3/1) and Diana Shnaider at bigger prices.
  • Guaranteed: a first-time Grand Slam champion — Sabalenka, Swiatek and Gauff are all out.
